K04 MK3 Ibiza Cupra Track Ready - RIP

[Jokerman261]

Kinda mucka. Wide band gauge is readiing high 14s low 15s and worse sometimes so not sure whats up with that.

Oil cooler seems to be fixed and ive just recieved a sfs boost hose as my pipe onto the top of the turbo is abit big.

Nah havent decided anything just yet. I know what i want (i think) What you recommend?

Just need to clear my garage, set my engine stand up and take it all apart ive cleaned my parts washer out ready haha

Thats fine for idle.

Good progress.

On full throttle it goes to 12s-13s then to 14s-15s sometimes into the red 16s? Guess thats not normal lol seems really erratic

Thats pretty much bang on. Haha yeah you can easily get distracted by the numbers racing around.

Definately should be in the 12s consistantly to the redline.

16 at redline means its running leaner top end than it is on idle ha cant see that myself i still reckon its something to do with your sensor mate seems to run too well

The Plan

Just dropping a list here, so the bit of paper i write on dosent go missing, get wet or eaten.

As i have a spare engine im going to fiddle with (when ive decided what spec) i still want to fiddle with the car its self.

Main reason i got a spare engine, was so i could keep the car to drive. Rather than pull my engine out, start it and then get board and break the whole car.

Engine plans are still to be decided.

Plan for the Car is to get it driving better

So..

Planning on

Coilovers refurbed
Ball joint extenders
Rose joint track rods
Compbrake adjustable top mounts
New steering rack bush (i fitted the wrong one lol)
Powerflex rear beam bushes
Powerflex front subframe

R tech remap
Fit the box and diff
Clucth if need one
Fit catch tank
Fit harness bar
Move air filter closer to the wing
New AP racing rotors

Send a few things off for powder coating

Think thats it lol ill post this in the first post and keep ot upto date.
And ill post the engine plans once finial.

There you go mate, theres pictures. Bad quality phone pictures but pictures of how I stopped my boot rattling.

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Ah sweet cheers mucka

Does it make it harder to shut the boot?

 

[welly]

yeah, but only a little, depending on how thick you go with your rubber etc. Well worth doing I promise.

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Thanks mate ill give it a try

 

[Ginge81990]

After re reading that, yes it should be 12s to redline.
